This isn't a garage sale or dumpster find, but close.
Last Thursday my wife and I were headed to downtown LA on business. (I hate LA)
We were on our way and a block from home. I was ready to turn left and two doors down across the street I saw something. I said "that looks like computers on the parking strip grass. Do you mind if I look?" I did not get an answer, so I took that as a yes.
I drove past and lot of things were there. I turned around and told the wife i want the computers and got out and knocked on the door (it is broad daylight) A lady answered and I told her I recycle computers do you mind if I take them? no problem. So I went back to the car and loaded up everything that looked good. There were three big boxes of misc stuff. Not a word from the wife
Many hours later, after we got home, I unloaded
2 computers
3 laptops (2 were scrap and one Toshiba looks brand new but no harddrive)
8 cell phones
10 sticks of RAM
3 grocery bags of wire for my recycle run
5 hard drives (including the one for the laptop, but EVERYONE HAD BEEN SHOT 4-5 TIMES WITH A 22)
1 microsoft bluetooth/usb GPS reciever ($25.00 on ebay)
1 netgear wireless router, almost new in a box
